5.1. Methodological overview

The methodology followed in this course is oriented towards achievement of the learning objectives. It includes both theory and practice and it is based on the immersion of the student in the topic of water pollution control, so he/she can gain the knowledge and skills necessary in order to face projects and, in general, any work activities, including environmental considerations in both management and technical tasks.

Classroom materials will be available via Moodle. These include a repository of the lecture notes used in class, the course syllabus, as well as other course-specific learning materials (http://moodle2.unizar.es/add/)

5.2. Learning tasks

The course includes the following learning tasks: 

  • Theory sessions (TP1): 35 hours.
  • Practice sessions (TP2): 15 hours. Exercises and case studies will be done in order to complement the theory sessions.
  • Laboratory sessions (TP3): 7 hours. Two sessions which take place in the laboratory.
  • Field work: 3 hours. One session.
  • Guided case studies (TP6): 14 hours. Guidance, monitoring and evaluation of guided assignments.
  • Evaluation (TP8): 10 hours.
  • Autonomous work and study (TP7): 52 hours.
  • Tutorials: 14 hours.
